The authorial project exploring the melancholy of an individual in the context of a melancholic age. By what means and under what circumstances can one fall into a melancholic state? And when does melancholy take hold of a person and when can a person freely decide for it? The performance as a theatrical laboratory creating a collective space for individual experience. An experiment with photography, scents and nature in an artificial space that allows the audience to sink into themselves and become aware of the possible qualities and risks of melancholy, which is beyond all temperaments.
